The original script that contains the database name https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b386b769-7575-49aa-8113-a95d948694f8/operating-system-error-2-and-microsoft-sql-server-error-5120-canot-find-file-specified?forum=sqlexpress [DRI] works fine. It fails with the "DRI_KY193.mdf" failed with the operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.)." message when I only change [DRI] to [DRI_KY193] in the script. The os filenames were also changed in the script to reflect both the new database name as well as its new location. I manually created a new folder on the server named "S:\SQL\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DRI_KY193_DATA\" and added sa http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1347545-146-1.aspx full access to it in permissions.Further clarification...If I were to search and replace all occurances of DRI_KY193 with DRI, the script works without errors.The DRI database is to be created in subfolder "S:\SQL\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DRI_DATA\"The DRI_KY193 database is to be created in subfolder "S:\SQL\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DRI_KY193_DATA\"And yes, you can browse to these folders as both of these paths exists...Thanks, StanleyBoth error message and the failing script is shown below.
